Posting on social media, the club shared a screengrab from Noel-Williams' Instagram account showing a user responding with a racist image. The club has since issued a clear statement regarding the matter.
Barnet FC condemns in the strongest terms the racist abuse directed at Isiah Noel-Williams on Instagram following today's game. Isiah has our full and unwavering support. There is no place for racism in football, online or anywhere in society.
